Rank 36 centres the Gloster Meteor F Mk 3 — the Derwent-powered jet that entered RAF squadron service in January 1945 and became the first Allied operational jet fighter to down enemy aircraft, even if its V-1 intercepts mattered more than dogfights over the Reich. Designed around Frank Whittle's turbojet concept and built by Gloster Aircraft, the Meteor's straight-wing layout traded transonic ambition for reliability and production speed. No. 616 Squadron flew Meteors against V-1 flying bombs over Kent; F Mk 3s later served in ground attack over Germany and remained in RAF service through Korea. More than 3,900 Meteors were built across all marks; split-view blueprint art renders the camouflage exterior and twin-jet wireframe exactly as the master PNG dictates.
